Aidan Crandell contributed to the ansys/pymotorcad repository by developing and enhancing core geometry and data serialization features over three months. He implemented robust geometry generation and manipulation capabilities, including support for ellipses, region duplication, and flexible shape creation, using Python and Matplotlib for both modeling and visualization. Aidan improved data integrity by introducing lossless JSON serialization for geometric regions, ensuring reliable round-trips between Motor-CAD and external tools. His work emphasized maintainability and correctness, with expanded test coverage and careful handling of data structures. These efforts streamlined geometry workflows, improved validation, and enabled more flexible, data-driven engineering within the codebase.

June 2025 (ansys/pymotorcad) focused on strengthening geometry generation reliability and core data-structure correctness. Implemented Motor-CAD Geometry Module enhancements to fix Stator/Rotor region enum identification, remove unused StatorSlot code from an example, and expand shape generation tests for circular notch; relaxed restrictions on square method to improve flexibility and robustness. Fixed EntityList equality semantics by ensuring length is checked before element-wise comparison and adding an inequality operator, complemented by tests. These changes, together with expanded test coverage, improved maintainability and reduced regression risk, delivering tangible business value through more robust geometry workflows and data-model correctness.
